Nordex has received a 47MW turbine order for a wind project in Sweden from regular customer WPD.
Nordex will supply eight N163/5.X turbines for the Stollsaterberget wind project and will also service the turbines for 15 years with an extension option for a further five years.
Installation of the turbines will start in summer 2023.
The Stollsaterberget wind farm will be built between the provinces of Varmland and Dalarna in western Sweden near the Norwegian border.
The turbines will be configured in the cold climate version which includes Nordex’s anti-icing system for the rotor blades.
“We are pleased about the third order from WPD for N163/5.X turbines in the Nordic countries and the renewed trust placed in us.
“As early as 2022, we will deliver and install 33 turbines for WPD in Finland for the 188MW Karhunnevankangas project and 17 turbines in the 96.9MW Nuolivaara wind farm,” said Patxi Landa, Nordex chief sales officer.
“With Nordex, we have a turbine manufacturer at our side with whom we can implement our objectives for an extensive contribution to the energy transition,” added Johanna Bohn, WPD country manager for Sweden.
